quantum bunkum

I watched a very interesting programme on my television today titled “What Universe Do We Live In?”  It set out quantum theory that there are an infinite number of parallel universes.  The theory goes on to provide that a different universe exists for every single decision we make.  So, say I leave my house and turn left, another universe exists where I turn right.

And so on.  Infinitely.

I think I can just about grasp this concept.  A universe where I’m not ill.  One where I put a pink tie on to go to my work; one where I go to the office with my underwear on my head.  One where I haven’t started a blog.  One where you’re not reading this.  You get the picture?

But I have one major problem with this theory.  A problem which means that it simply cannot be correct.

You see, if such infinite universes exist, for everyone who has ever lived on this or any other planet, and for everything they have done or could have done in their lifetime, then it is surely statistically absolutely unarguably certain that either through accident or design, someone, somewhere, sometime has proved this theory correct and synchronized all the universes into one.  It must be.  Over the billions of years, with an infinite number of planets and an infinite number of decisions, it’s simply impossible for this not to have happened. 

If such universes exist that is.

They obviously don’t, or I wouldn’t have been able to watch the programme.  There’d have been no need for it.  And all the quantum theorists would be working in bars or sweeping up streets.

Anyway, Merry Christmas.

what planet are they on?!?!
